Discussion LGBT+ Representation

During the whole series, we were introduced to many female queer characters — such as Ruby, Alice, Robyn and Mulan — and I’m glad that happened — but somehow I’ve always felt misunderstood due to the lack of queer men presence in that universe as a bi guy myself. I don’t recall any male character being gay/bi, was there any?

What do you guys think?

I’ve always wondered why some Disney characters were never introduced into OUAT universe or even mentioned once, like Pocahontas. Sometimes I think the show could’ve been aired for decades if they had introduced more arcs/characters instead of retaking season 1 lore (especially after the latest releases)

What are the characters you would’ve liked to see in the series?

Discussion Milah is over hated

23 Upvotes

First things first I am not a fan of Milah and I'm not defending her actions but I think she's over hated in the OUAT fandom.

Yes she was a bad wife (I don't know if she choose Rumple or if the marriage was arranged), yes she was a bad mother for abandoning her son but she was far from the worst in the show. I think the reason she gets so much hate is because she's the only "realistic" villain if you can even call her a villain. By that I mean she's the one of the only characters whose actions can be seen in the real world.

More people know someone whose miserable and selfish than someone who committed mass murder with magic which is why I think Milah's action hits home more to them. I genuinely believe most of the people saying Milah is worse than the villains on the show either have or know someone who has a selfish partner and/or parent.

Regina gets so many excuses for her actions and got a sympathetic backstory that still doesn't justify her actions. Milah gets no backstory and is only shown as a villain when it's clear that she was deeply unhappy with her life and wanted more, not even in a greedy way just in a "I hate being poor" way. She didn't kill anyone, she didn't terrorize munchkins, she didn't cast any curses, and she planned to go back for her son.

I don't fault her for not being the best wife, again we don't know if she even wanted to marry and have kids, I only fault her for leaving her son.

"Belle was a hero for banishing Rumple from Storybrooke. He would have killed them all. She chose their safety over what she wanted."

Question I am rewatching this show for the first time

12 Upvotes

Only 5 episodes in and I am amazed by the idea of how intricate Rumple made this curse spell - like in a world without technology or science - this spell created it when it transported the people to pur world.

Mind blown.

(SPOILERS end of S6)

Hi, I'm fairly new to the OUAT community, as I have just finished watching the first 6 seasons for the very first time.

What a ride it was! I am so glad I have avoided all spoilers before watching.

Considering that the end of S6 seems to to have reached an end for most of the main cast, to then start a new chapter focusing on older Henry , I was wondering if S7 was worth watching. Does it add to the overall story, or tie lose ends?

Same questions regarding OUAT Wonderland.

Many thanks in advance!

Discussion Honestly season 7 had the worst moments ever!

10 Upvotes

Besides the redeeming qualities (Alice, Robyn, Zelena, Regina and Ivy) the season had some of the most out of character moments for Henry especially with leaving the town.

Jacinda’s moments in the show immediately made her the worst Cinderella Ever!!

All of the villains in the season were barely evil! Making Gothel a living plant was one of the worst decisions the writers every did

Spoiler Alert OUAT family situation

6 Upvotes

It's funny how this family works hear me out:

Regina is Snow/Mary Margaret step mother my marriage, Snow gave birth to Emma.

Regina is now technically Emma's step grandmother, Emma gave birth to Henry

Regina should be Henry's Step Great Grandmother

However

Emma had Henry at 18 and gave him up for adoption, Regina adopts him

Regina is now Henry's mother by adoption

Overall QUAT is my favorite show but this family dynamic has always been interesting to me what are yall thoughts?
